Acc ording to news reporting out of Wuhan, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx edi tors, research stated, "Due to the impact of economic globalization, distributed welding shop has become prevalent in real-world manufacturing systems. Moreover , focusing on human-centric, sustainable and resilient industry, Industry 5.0 pu ts more emphasis on human-robot collaboration (HRC) for its merit in promoting s ystem flexibility and adaptability." Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundati on of China (NSFC), Key Research and Development Program Project in Hubei Provin ce. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the China Universit y of Geosciences, "However, owing to the instability of human performance, it be comes necessary to employ fuzzy processing time to simulate practical human prod uction. In the context of Industry 5.0, HRC scheduling in distributed mixed fuzz y welding shop is worth exploring, but no related research on this problem is re ported. Thus, to address this research gap, this paper investigates a human-robo t collaboration energy-efficient distributed mixed fuzzy welding shop scheduling problem (EDMFWSP-HRC), aiming to minimize makespan and total energy consumption (TEC). To solve this issue, a self-learning memetic algorithm (SLMA) is propose d. In SLMA, a hybrid initialization is designed to yield a high-quality initial population. A genetic operator is proposed to improve the exploration capability . A self-learning variable neighborhood search (SLVNS), which hybridizes Q-learn ing and VNS, is developed to enhance the exploitation capability. A resource adj ustment strategy is presented to further optimize TEC. Additionally, to validate the effectiveness of the proposed SLMA, extensive experimental comparisons with 5 other optimization algorithms are conducted. Experimental results illustrate that SLMA outperforms its competitors. Note to Practitioners-Owing to the widesp read presence in manufacturing systems, distributed welding shop has attracted c onsiderable attention in both industry and academia. In the context of Industry 5.0, the incorporation of human-robot collaboration (HRC) scheduling in distribu ted welding shop can promote system productivity and flexibility. Meanwhile, due to the instability of human performance, employing fuzzy processing time to sim ulate human production more aligns with the practical manufacturing scenario. Th us, this paper investigates a human-robot collaboration energy-efficient distrib uted mixed fuzzy welding shop scheduling problem (EDMFWSP-HRC). This problem mod el can be utilized in many welding manufacturing enterprises with HRC production mode. To solve this problem, we design a self-learning memetic algorithm (SLMA) to minimize both makespan and total energy consumption (TEC). The design of all components in SLMA is based on the characteristics of problem. The SLMA can off er the low-energy and high-efficiency schedules for practitioners."
